How to lighten your hair

Monday, 25 May 2015

I have dark blonde hair and it tends to lighten in the summer. However summer doesn't last all year here in the UK, and besides getting my hair highlighted, the following products help me to maintain a lighter look and silky hair throughout the year. 

ESSENCE ULTÎME BLONDE & BRIGHT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER - This shampoo and conditioner is perfect for moisturising all sorts of blonde hair, from natural to coloured. It helps to gently brighten and improve your blonde tone. It also improves the quality of your hair, making it stronger and shinier.

ESSENCE ULTÎME OMEGA REPAIR INTENSIVE HAIR MASK - To ensure further treatment, I occasionally use this mask. It helps to prevent split ends and strengthen hair. You only have to keep it on for 1 minute and you notice improvements instantly. 

CASTING SUNKISS JELLY - I recently tried this product to see if it would blend my roots into my lightened hair. It worked really well, I applied it mainly to my roots and sat in the sun; as suggested for a more intense result.

Great new flavoured milk drink you need to give a try!

Friday, 3 April 2015

Emmi have expanded their iced coffee products to include chocolate milk. The two flavours are original and caramel. They both taste really good, I haven't had chocolate milk in ages and now I'm addicted. The lid is really handy, it's like the coffee cups you get when you're on the go which makes it's perfect for travel. I normally have one on my walk to sixth form. Since I tried them out I've been popping into Tesco, purely to buy a few. They also have a caffe latte range, I tried the cappuccino and vanilla flavour; both were amazing. My favourite of all is the choco lait caramel, I would recommend it for sure. I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did!

At the moment they're running a daily competition every day for 100 days to win an iPhone 6. Just visit the website and take a look at the daily challenge, upload a photo of the required task and you could be in the chance of winning an iPhone 6!

Mother's Day Cards

Sunday, 8 March 2015

Mother's Day is a week away and there's no better way to show your appreciation to your mum than a card to fill your thank you's in. Made With Love have a lovely variety of mother's day cards for you to choose from. There are also other cards, gifts and stationery available.

I received the moon card (£3.50) and the Alice In Wonderland card (£4.50). The cards have a pearlescent finish which is really nice and makes them worth the price, they're a great quality and can be personalised on the site. I love the design of the cards, including the ones on the website. They're so different compared to ones you find in most card stores. I love how the moon on the moon card is a soft watercolour print, the styles are just perfect. I'm so excited to give them to my mum. Well, I'm going to give her the Alice In Wonderland one, the moon card will be from my sister. 

I had a look on the site and the interiors are so nice. Everything is my style so I will for sure be buying from the site. It's really worth giving a look at. Don't do what I normally do and leave it till the last minute, get a pretty personalised card from Made With Love :) 


What are you planning on getting your mum and how will you spend the day?

Your Tea

Wednesday, 18 February 2015

Your Tea has a range of teadox's. I recieved the Tiny Tea 14 day teatox. It works effectively in cleansing your system. It's recommended you follow their eating plan during the teatox to further results, however if you already eat healthily I would say you'll be fine. You can't expect a teatox to cleanse if you continue to put the bad stuff in your body.

There is a wide range of tea's available on their site such as 'skin magic tea' which claims to help with acne, 'sleep tea' which assists with anxiety and stress and even a 'man tea' which helps with a number of things.

Tiny Tea helps with bloating, indigestion, skin, cellulite, increasing energy and reducing excess weight. I feel as though it worked very well considering skin. All you can do is gain benefits from trying it. Teatox's are an interesting way to get your system in shape, physically and psychologically. 

I'd say it's an acquired taste. It has a very asian tea taste, like Oolong tea. If you know your oriental teas, you'll tell it tastes a good quality. Even if you don't enjoy the taste I think it's worth getting used to, just to see the benefits it has. Your Tea does everything it claims. I felt energised, I'm normally very sleepy but this definitely lifted my mood. However it gets cold quickly, so don't be someone like me who forgets they have a tea beside them.

Rent nail polish? (Get your free month with code below)

Monday, 16 February 2015

I used to be obsessed with nail polish. I'd just buy colours that looked nice in the bottle, but when it came to it, I didn't like the look of them on my nails. Which is probably why I like this idea. I've recently had a huge clear out as I had so many I've barely used, they were such a waste of space. The concept of Coloristiq is to let you try out the best brands and on trend colours. Rather than you letting your money go to waste by purchasing a nail polish you'll only use once. 

I'd never tried china glaze as it's not in my local superdrug unlike Essie. I was sent three random colours, but if you knew my situation you would have thought I chose them. I didn't have any red nail polish and the green nail polish I had wasn't the best quality, I also love Essie so any colour I'd be pleased with. 

So how does it work?

The box looks like this and has clear instructions on the process, as shown below:

Use my code: Marriott1 for a free month. Due to Coloristiq's direct debit system, you'll have to email info@coloristiq.com the code and they will refund your free month. 

What do you think of renting nail polish?

My new favourite hair products! / ARGAN DEW REVIEW

You know when you leave the hair dressers and your hair feels so soft, looks shiny and smells great? Argan Dew is how to achieve it at home! After using it, I even felt like I'd just had my hair cut, the ends were so nice. I received samples of the Replenishing Hair Mask and the Miraculous Argan Oil. One use and my hair felt so much better than it has with any other shampoo's, and I have used sooo many.  

If it wasn't clear already, pure Argan oil is the main ingredient which helps protect your hair, while maintaining thick, full, shiny and healthy hair. After using it my hair, whilst damp, was so mush easier to brush. I can't emphasise how much I love this stuff! 

Honestly, I will be buying a full size of the hair mask and oil, it's too good not too! I also found that my hair didn't need a wash as soon as it normally does. If you want soft, shiny and lovely smelling hair (who doesn't?) then you're in luck, Argan Dew will give you 20% off if you use the code argandew.
